Juggling a busy lifestyle along with your own personal schedule is difficult enough, so now let's factor in a husband, kids, a home and work.... More often than not, there isn’t enough time in the day to possibly scratch every item on your to-do list, but you already realized that and by then you’re pooped out, worn out, run down and boy it shows, but who has hours to spend primping in front of a mirror? Not you, and certainly NOT ME! With a few simple tricks, you can go from blah and boring to babe and beauty in one hour or less! Yup, one hour...so tell me, aren't you worth one hour? I think so! Start right now by treating yourself to your full beauty potential with the following tips:
Start your instant makeover with a look at your skin. A clean, smooth complexion is the base of a glowing face, so assess the condition of your skin. Is it oily, dry or normal? Are there any eruptions or blackheads that should be treated and removed? Use a gentle cleanser and exfoliation pad to remove excess oil and dead skin, and then rinse your skin with cool water. Blot gently and apply your favorite moisturizer, preferably one with built-in sun protection. Be sure not to rub your face as you are applying the moisturizer – particularly around the super-sensitive skin near your eyes, and to smooth body lotion from neck to toes. Many women apply facial moisturizer and toners every day but neglect to care for the rest of their skin, even though it, too, is subject to wear and tear from dryness and environmental pollutants. As for me, I go light and simple. Soap and water. I don't want it to take a half hour to remove my face before I climb into bed. I want a quick wash and rinse and away I go.
Now how about this? Experts agree that a new hair cut is a great way to change your look and boost your mood. If you don't believe me, then try it! It works wonders! Now, if you’re only looking for a temporary change, consider styling your hair differently. You don’t need a salon to do this! You just need to be a little bit adventurous. Is your hair short and unfussy? Add a little gel for a sleek and sophisticated look. Get out your curlers if you normally wear your hair straight, or your straightening iron if your regular hair style is curly. The demands of everyday living often drive women to simply tying back their hair with little regard to how it works. Take a few minutes to wash, condition, and style your hair to see a dramatic improvement in your appearance and sense of confidence. Every now and again I try something new!
The natural look is nice, but applying makeup is an easy way to glam up your look without expending a lot of effort or time. When I say apply makeup I mean enjoy to accentuate your true beauty, NOT enough to make you go from 'Plain Jane' to the Joker on Batman. True beauty needs not be pattered down with layers of liquid.Too much makeup and too many layers hide the real true beauty. Take advantage of the season’s trend toward pretty lipsticks and multi-tone eye shadow. Eyeliner has also made a comeback, so use it to make a bold statement for an evening out on the town. Mascara is an absolute must and takes literally seconds to apply, just don't be in a big hurry or you'll find yourself poking yourself in the eye like I always do! Also, if you haven’t already done so, take a few minutes to have a professional cosmetician recommend the best colors and shades that will complement your hair, eyes and skin.
Choose a dynamite outfit and accessorize. That's right sister...pull out all the stops, even if its just to go to the corner market, look good, because it will be that one time that you leave the house with sweatpants and an old Aerosmith torn up t-shirt that you will run into someone you know! Dressing up isn’t just for special occasions. Chances are, if you look sloppy, you feel sloppy, so put on a great pair of jeans, a soft sweater, heeled boots and a pair of earrings before heading to the grocery store or to your son’s soccer game. Going out for dinner? Let your dinner companions ooh and aah when you arrive in a fabulous little black dress dress or pantsuit. Even if you consider the choices in your closet a little on the dull side, you can always mix and match to add excitement to your wardrobe. Add a flirty silk scarf or unusual brooch to a conservative outfit for instant visual interest and appeal. It's it about time to spice up the closet wardrobe? I think so....
Your most powerful beauty tool is a big, genuine smile enhanced by sparkling, lively eyes. When you’re happy and relaxed, it shows in how you look, feel and behave, so do whatever it takes to allow you to smile. This might mean taking a short nap to catch up on your rest, destressing with some time in front of the television with your favorite reality program, pursuing a hobby, exercising, sipping a coffee or hanging out with a friend. Make time for a few ‘you’ moments each day. Having and enjoying this time is just as vital as any other appointment, so make it a point to set aside at least 20 worry-free ‘you time’ minutes each day. You’ll feel better, look better, and your smile will be absolutely gorgeous!!!! Hop to it!
